Attwood, voted on December 16th, for the House to go into a Com mittee on the Civil List on that day, when the Liberal party, headed by Mr. Harvey, proposed to postpone the Committee till the follow ing Monday. His name does not appear in any other Division on the Civil List. On one stagikof the proceedings with regard to that List he rose to propose an amendment, the nature of which is not recorded ; we presume it was a sweeping one, as the Speaker declared that it was inadmissible. The publication of THE SUN NEWSPAPER commenced this day at 20 minutes past Three o' Clock. WITH WHICH THE I , TRUE SUN" IS NOW INCORPORATED. LONDON : MONDAY EVENING, AUGUST 13, 1838. The weather is now looked to, in consequence of our I unfavourable prospects, with considerable anxiety, and we rejoice much that to-day again, as yesterday and the day before, the country is blessed with fine ripening harvest weather. A few such days, or two or three weeks such weather, as compared to the rainy, cold, disheartening weather of the last , month, will make a great difference in the quantity and quality of the corn securely gathered. At the same time, though these three days must have effected a favourable alteration, it cannot be doubted or concealed that great apprehensions exist as to the produce of the harvest. From all the accounts we have seen we infer that, in the South of England generally, the corn is remarkably fine, the ears are large, and the grain well grown, while in the North generally, and on the elevated districts of the centre, it is very deficient as well as very backward. A little fine weather, therefore, would secure the plentiful harvest of the South, and bring the backward harvest of the North to perfection, while cold wet weather would destroy the crops in the North, and damage those of the South. The period is extremely interesting, and speculation is, of course, all alive. The public fully share in the interest. The representa tion made at Birmingham of three loaves, the English being small and high priced, the French bigger and lower priced, and the Russian still bigger, and still lower, has gone the round of all the Provincial and Sunday pa pers, and has spoken to the eyes and the hearts of the people. Wheat is at 785., and the :oaf at lOid. To-day the Common Council have met, and though they refused to take into consideration the propriety of petitioning the Legislature to allow the corn in bond to be brought in free of duty, that such a motion has been made betrays much anxiety ; the papers teem with calculations as to the probable prices, and as to the probable deficiency ; we are threatened with a dearth, and with wheat at 100 s.; Parliament it has been stated may be called together in November; fearful apprehensions are, in fact, growing up in the land, and everywhere there are indications of a moral storm which the return of bad weather would rouse into a violent tempest. We did our duty several months ago, by endeavouring; to draw attention to the subject, and are happy to know that our endeavours were at the time appreciated by the Press ; but the united efforts of many journals had not the small influ ence over the landowners, whose hearts are hardened in the ways of wickedness, and who out of selfish pride refused to concede even the small privilege of allow n g foreign corn to he ground in bond. 'They may have at tained their object of keeping up rent, as Mr. VILLIEItS said a few nights ago, though we shall presently point out some reason to suppose they have injured themselves, even in a pecuniary point of view ; but they have earned for themselis the Chronicle said on Friday, the fierce hatred of the hulk of the towns-people. That seems to us a fearful condition for the Aristocracy of England ; but it is terrific for them to feel and to know that they deserve this ha tred. Latterly they have displayed all that love of plunder which was one of the distinguiihing features of the Barons of the middle ages, without the boldness of those ma auders. They have sought to attain their objects by mi serable legislative juggling, and they have added the meanness of pedlars and the hypocrisy of priests to the ra pacity of robbers. The mailed hand of the feudal plun derers did command obedience by fear ; but our pecuniary Aristocracy, have neither power nor courage to enforce and maintain their reprobated system. The contempt felt for them is fully equal to the growing hatred. Now what do they gain, to compensate for being thus the objects of national contempt and hatred ? Not even a little wealth. The Corn-laws are kept up for the sake of the titheowners ; and if there were no Corn-laws, there could be no tithes. The landed Aristocracy would, by the destruction of the tithe system—the inevitable consequ ence of free trade in grain—be in truth en. riched. But they first of all foolishly, and for the sake of maintaining a useless and noxious Church Establishment, allow tithes to be taken from their lands, and then, to make up for that loss, they knavishly plunder the rest of the community. In fact, the abolition of the Corn-laws would overthrow the tithe system, and enrich all the landowners, who were not also titheowners. Moreover, the motion of Mr. WOOD, on Friday, to bring in a Bill to enhance the duties on foreign fruits, made another fact known to the public, with which we have long been familiar—namely, that the Corn-laws, by enhancing the price of everything grown on our soil, is a bounty on many foreign productions. In the present commercial state of the world there are a great number of things besides corn on which the people subsist. Tea and coffee, and sugar, for example, are substituted for malt and hops. Raisins, and figs, and currants, enter largely into consump tion, and prevent the growth and sale of many fruits at home. The price of the home-growths being greatly en hanced by the increased rent of land—the consequence of the Corn-laws—promotes the competition of the growers of these foreign productions, and is so far a bounty on_ their con sumption here. The same fact is true of corn itself ; its enhanced price drives men to seek sAstitutcs of all kinds, many of them the growth or production of other countries, or other trades than agriculture ; and the Corn-laws, by limiting the consumption of corn, do in fact lessen the advantages which the landowners might derive from the soil. Another fact is made apparent by the presen't condition of the corn market. It is the business of the agricultui ist to grow, not to store corn. The latter is done by another class of men. The instant one crop is gathered, he must begin to prepare the soil for the next ; and in the great majority of cases he must sell one crop before lie can com mend labour to grow the next. This is his inexorable fate. The consequence is, that at this period of the year, the agriculturist scarcely ever is the owner of the corn which remains from last year's harvest ; and all the advantage of the rise belongs to the money owners. The present state of the corn market makes it evident that the farmers do not benefit by short crops and high prices. Those who command money, can and do influence the market by their speculations. They are now looking to the period when bonded corn may be brought into this country at Is. per quarter, and to obtain that, the own ers of the bonded corn will, no doubt, go into the mar ket and buy, and hoard what they buy. Suppose by buying 12,000 or 15,000 or 100,000 quarters at a high price, which they may afterwards be obliged to sell:at a small loss, they get up the price so as to be enabled • s introduce 500,000 quarters of foreign corn with out pa).lg any duty. The difference between the present rate of duty .7rlCl wren corn may be imported at Is. per quarter is 15s. per q!tarter. The duty which may be saved, therefore, on 500,000 qui:rters of corn is 375,000/. What a sum to tempt the gambling and speculative propen sities of those who, by owning money, can command the corn market! They will take care, we pre sume, to • get this feat accomplished by or before the time to buy of the home grower. The foreign corn will be brought in just in time for the money-owners to beat down the prices which the farmer ought to receive for his short crop, and will certainly prevent that deficiency being compensated by a corresponding rise in price. Then will come the old story that Hodge, by the failure of his crops, cannot pay his rent ; and Lord this, and Squire that, will be munificiently puffed off in the Tory and Church Journals, for their liberality in remitting ten or fifteen per cent. of what is due from their tenants. Why, then, the rise of rent on which the land-owners hug themselves is merely nominal, and they deservedly earn the national hatred and contempt, to enrich the money-owner, and to promote gambling in. corn. The very laws they eulogize offer, as we have just shewn, a large bounty, perhaps as much as 400,000/., at this moment to those who can get up the price, and bring in bonded corn all ready stored at hand, free of duty, and tempt them so to bring it in as to prevent the tenants, who ought to get 80s. for his short crop, from getting above 655. Such a temptation to those who can command the market will be surely embraced, and the Corn-laws will thus be the means of enriching the money class and taking money out of the pockets of the tenants. So be it, for those who seek to plunder others deserve to be impoverished. The illegality of the proceedings adopted by Lord DURHAM and his Council, towards the ringleaders of the late insurrection in Canada, has been and is, the subject of much comment. On the first view of those proceedings, there unquestionably does appear to have been a considera ble departure from the ordinary forms of justice, in sending these men, however clear their guilt might have been, into banishment, without trial. There is a fact, however, stated to-day by a Morning Contemporary, on the authority of Mr. CHARLES BuLLErt, Chief Secretary to the Council, which totally alters the complexion pf the case. It now comes out that the deportation of the prisoners was their own act, and that Lord DURHAM merely gave effect to their wishes, they having actually petitio'grd his Lordship "to be disposed of without trial." In such circumstances there cannot, we should imagine, be any necessity for a bill of indemnity to protect Lord DURHAM from the consequences of this act of grace, for such in reality it is. The unhappy men who had in fact forfeited their lives to the laws of their country implore the Governor-General not to bring them to trial, and throw themselves entirely o❑ his mercy. And surely never was so much mercy shown to culprits whose offences were of so heinous a character. All that Lord Duattam required of these unhappy men was, that they should leave a country in which they had excited a rebellion, adding the condition, that if they returned to it, they wozld certainly be tried. To imagine that it was Lord DURHAM'S intention to hang them without trial if they came back, seems to us an absurdity. We think that Lord DURHAM, placed as he is in circumstances of almost unparalleled difficulty, has taken a humane, wise, and con sistent course. _ _ _ We publish a communication - on Canaan, from an au thentic source, which hears out awl corroborates the view we have taken of that important question. The successor of Mr. Hue, in Middlesex, on Friri.!y night, gave a proof of his will, but fortunately not of his power, to make the inhabitants of the maropolis pay for the monopoly enjoyed by some of his constituents. The President of the Board cf Trade a Bill this Session has properly reduced the duty on foreign fruits to a 5 pc r cent. ad valorem duty, in order that the public may be supplied at a moderate rate with what may be termed not merely a luxury but one of the necessaries of life. Owing to the unequal supply, the price here is sometimes enormous, while en the other side of the Channel it is comparatively low; and this state of things Captain WOOD would con tinue, to keep up the landlords' rents. The House seemed lost in wonder at the proposition of the Hon. Member at the present moment, fur, as far as the report goes, not one of his own side supported him. The Tory Member for Sunderland, Alderman THOMPSON, told him if he wished to be.. consistent, he must impose a duty on all fruit brought by railroadg, and Mr. VH.LtEas described this at tetript to mulct the inhabitants of London as an " indica tion of what the country might expect if the landed interest gained power in that House." We expect vet to see the day when the apples of Normandy and the wheat of Po merania will be placed on the same footing. We are indebted to the Times of this mornin g for an abstract of the debate in the Diet of Lucerne on the 6th inst., on the demand of France for the expulsion of Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE from the Swiss territory. Those who have read the article in The Sun of Saturday upon the subject, will be struck with the coincidence be tween our views and those of the majority of the Deputies who spoke on the occasion we: are alluding to. We are de• lighted to Lind that Switzerland is still resolved to main tain her old independence, despite of the threats 'of France, and the machinations of Prussia, Bavaria, and the petty despots of Germany. Letters and papers from M drid, of the 4th instant, have reached us this morning. The Cabinet was still in a state of suspense, as no despatches had been received from Gene ral ESPARTERO. However one circumstance had occurred to raise the spirits of Count OFALIA and his friends, Generals NARVAEZ, ORAA, and SAN MIGUEL, had ad dressed letters to the Government, threatening to resign, in the event of the Cabinet being modified to suit the ambitious views of ESPARTERO. Thus is the army the. focus of fac tions as fierce as in the capital itself. According to the Gazette of the 3d, Baron DE MEER made the apocalyptical number of 666 prisoners at the capture of Solsona. A Spanish friar would concoct a very tolerable sermon out of the fancies sugge3ted by this little incident. he whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Satur day have been received.

MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY (THIS DAY), TWELVE O'CLOCK. A representation has been made to Government by the Committee of the South American and Mexican Association, on the subject of the continuance of the French blockade against Mexico, stating that it is injurious to all parties engaged in trade with Mexico ; that several ves sels dispatched with cargoes from England to Mexico have brought them back to England : and in short, commercial intercourse with Mexico is destroyed. - • ' . . . An answer to the above representation has been received, dated Ad. miralty, 27th July, in which the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty inform the Committee of the South American and Mexican Association, " That quicksilver, as merchandize, is of course subject to the rules and regulations of a blockade; and that the exemption allowed to her Ma jesty's packets carrying mails cannot be extended to merchandize." It appears that some serious disputes have taken place at Tampico laptween Mr. Crawford: British Consul, and the Commander of the French brig.of.war, Eclipse, stationed off that port to enforce the blockade. The Consul was conducting on board the packet Alert, 750,000 dollars, and twenty-five passengers, when lie was hailed by one of the launches of the French squadron, which he resisted; another launch was dispatched, and the result was, that seeing the Alert making preparations to defend the Consul on board, the launches were recalled by signal from the French Commander. In the course of the day the Consul remonstrated With the French officer who' commanded the launches; high words ensued, and the Consul demanded that he should recognize his official appendage. In consequence of this occurrence, a French officer was sent home with dispatches to the French Government, through the United States, and that, on his arrival in Paris,' a Cabinet Council was held, and it is stated that, after the breaking.up of the Council, orders were forwarded to Brest for the equipment and dispatch of threernore ships of war to the Mexican coast. A mail from Rio Janeiro by the Seagull has arrived, sailed on the 17th June, Bahia 26th June, Pernambucco 3d July. We do not hear she brings any news of importance. All was tranquil in the above capital. We have received the New York Morning Herald, one day later, of the 20th July, from which we copy the following state of the Money Market :—The sales at the Stock Exchange have been to a fair extent to-day, but the prices show but little variation from those of yesterday. A slight rise has been perceptible in some cases, in others the rates have receded in a small degree. There is but little dispostion either to speculate or invest at present in the market. Mecha nics Bank closed at an improvement of one per cent. North River Bank, ; the Kentucky Bank declined 1 per cent, at the close. Money is plentiful, as a matter of course in the absence of all commercial enterprises or operations, which would create a demand for money. The arrival of the Siddons, from Liverpool, puts us in possession of papers afew days later. United States Bank shares 121. We have received Montreal papers to the 18th of July. THE UNION OF ALL THE PROVINCES AT CORNWALL,—Lord Durham seems to have publicly revealed his intention of recommending this ex. tensive scheme. UPPER CANADA.—The town has been kept in a state of great excite. ment throughout the week from the circulation of vague rumours of an invasion there; it does not, however, appear that a number of men landed near Port Surina, and were joined by many of the disaffected in the Lindon and Western districts. In consequence of this information the Government Militia were called out on Tuesday, when every one of them volunteered to go to whatever part of the province they were wanted; they were then dimissed, with orders to be in readiness on the shortest notice. We have received the Quebec Papers of the 13th July. UPPER CANADA. —This province is at present in a more unsatisfactory state than Lower Canada. The mad rebellion of M`Kenzie and his adherents was chiefly put down by the loyal inhabitants of the province. The defeated party had only to cross over the river on the lakes, on a frontier of 700 miles, to be in safety among a people similar to them selves. The present attempts are more predatory and vindictive than the former, and are more truly in character wicked. The ruin of fami lies, the destruction of tho property on both shores of the St. Lawrence and the Lakes by border feuds, and if poslfible the involving of the United States and England in a war, are no doubt the objects contemplated by the leaders. Buenos Ayres Papers to the 20th May received.—They do not bring any events of importance of the French blockading vessels.

What I have done during eight years will no doubt be recorded in this Palace, where I have collected the remem. brance of what our predecessors have done glorious anti useful to our common country, and I am confident that the national feeling will avenge me for all the calumnies with which I am assailed during my life, and for which your acclamations are already for me a consolation.— (Cries of " rive le Rol") • " " My heart feels deeply the affection you show me, and I apt deeply moved by them, and also for the kind reception you gave to my two sons. I congratulate myself that they have been brought up amonsgt you, on the same seats, and that they have shared and will continue to share your games, your labours, and your success. I hope you will ever continue to have for them the same affection. I request it of you for them ; at the same time, thanks to you for the marks of attachment you give me, and repeating to you how delighted I am when in the midst of you." The substance of the latest intelligence from the Spanish belligerents is included in the following telegraphic despatch, copied from the official columns of the Illoniteur : " BORDEAUX, Auc. 10.—The insurgents have been recently attacked and routed by Oraa on the 2d, near the town of Morella, towards which they retired in disorder. They afterwards dispersed themselves in dif ferent directions. General San Miguel was on the 4th at Cerollcra, con ducting the waggon train and besieging artillery towards Morella, where he hoped to arrive without other obstacle than that of the road, which is almost impracticable." The following extract from the Novicio of Saragossa, of the 4th inst., though trot of so late a date as the telegra phic dispatch, contains further details of thepreparations then making for the attack on Morella. • " Mo:sißoYA, AuousT 1.-Tlie army arrived on the 29th before Mo rella, with nothing more important than a slight skirmish sustained by San Miguel's division. All the divisions were united on the heights above Morella. Tne Carlist skirmishers appeared, but were soon driven into a strong position which they occupied towards Orcajo. On the 30th the army occupied different heights and points ; the enemy attacked the rear, but were rcpulsed. The GeneraLin-Chief destroyed the works and parapets at Pobieta. San Miguel, • with five battalions, marched to Alcaniz to bring up the artillery from thence, Borse and Pardinas remaining befpre Morella, but entrenched and out of the reach of the cannon, until the artillery should arrive." Annexed are extracts from the papers :- The fine sugar refinery at Chalons-sur.Saone, erected by M. Petcot Grossier, Deputy for that town, bast just beets destroyed by fire. It is said to be insured for 400,000 francs. An Order of the Day of the 2d August was distributed yesterday among the officers of the National Guard. It says, " the Marshal has been informed that in several legions officers persist in keeping the muskets which are intrusted to, them to do their duty as private National Guards. In doing this they act contrary to Article 7 of the Royal Ordinance of 12th November, 1835," &c. The citizens in the Beserue are likewise not to retain arms in their possession ; if they refuse to deliver them up, they are to be proceeded against by the Captains.-Commerce.

FUNERAL OF LADY FRANCES BANKS On Saturday the remains of Lady Frances Banks, daughter of s the late venerable Earl of Eldon, whose demise she has not long survived, were removed from Hamilton_place, for interment in the family mausoleum, under the parish church of Encombe, Dorsetshire. The mournful cavalcade wa,, at her Ladyship's request, strictly private, and void of ostentation, consisting of only two mutes on horseback, the state plume, the hearse, drawn by four horses, with velvets and feathers, two mourn ing coaches, containing the present Earl, nephew of the deceased lady, and others of the immediate relatives, followed by the carriages of the family and most intimate friends. On the arrival of th e p rocess i on at Kensington turnpike, it halted, and Lord Edon, &c., returned in the private carriage to town, and will proceed on Tuesday to attend the funeral, which will take place on Thursday next. THE ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND BIR MINGHAM RAILWAY.—On Saturday a coroner's inquisition was held be fore Mr. Stirling, at the Plough Inn, Harrow, on view of the body of Thomas Port, a guard in the employ of the London and Birmingham Railway Company, who was killed on Tuesday last, under the following appalling and melancholy circumstances:—lt appeared in evidence that the unfortunate deceased started with the Denbigh Hall five o'clock train on Tuesday last from the station at Euston.grove, and, having arrived within about a mile and a quarter of Harrow, as was t h e usual custom, he dismounted from his seat for the purpose of collect ing front the passengers what is termed the " excess fares." This pro ceeding is occasioned by persons having paid their fare at the station for the second-class carriages only, and subsequently taking their seat in those of the first class. On paying their fare at the station they are Presen ted with tickets of a certain colour for ea ch class, and on ar riving at the place in qu estion it is the duty of the guards to collect * the tickets,and chargeefirs t Ihe " excess fare" from those who had t a k en t h e i r places class carriages, having only paid the s econ d , an y intb r f.ssal on the part of the passengers subjecting th em to a pe nalty of 40s. In the performance of this duty the deceased was engaged on Tuesday, which compelled him t o pass from one carriage to the other by the steps, and when in the act of placing his foot on one of them, at the time the train was pro ceedingat the rate of up wards of thirty miles an hour, h is foot s lipp e d between the wheels , which, as they successivel y p ass ed over. one of his knees, and above the other. Immediately after the train had passed d ti r , a e g d ge e d cea h , i e s d le: ,a s s i d n i , sc c o r v u e s r h e i d ng by th a em bro in th eleir by rd, inch named Thomas Lee, who, having stoppe d the train, proceeded to the spot, and by the advice of some medical ge ntlemen, who were passengers, placed him in ono f the carriages, and proceeied to Harrow, where it was deemed ad visable by Dr. Diamond, of Soho-square, and another medical gentle man who was present, that amputation should take place, which Was performed by t h em , by severing one of the t hi g hs close to the body of the unfortunate man, and the other about the centre; from the time of the accident, however, the deceased did not survive above three hours, having expired about nine o'clock the same evening. After some few remarks from the Jury upon the danger of allowing such a duty to be performed while the carriages were at full speed, the Jury re turned a verdict of " accidental death." The deceased has left a widow and two children to lament his loss. THE MARKETS:-(THIS DAY) CORN EXCHANGE. The return of arrivals of both Grain and Flour last week were small, and in the course of the waek every article manifested indications of improvement in prices. • This morning the fresh supply of Wheat was good, but of all other corn limited. In consequence of considerable advances in Wheat at many of the Country Markets, the Factors asked very high prices here today, but the weather being very favourable, the buyers hesitated to purchase, and the sales effected were about the same terms as on Friday last, or 3s. per quarter higher than la,t Mon day. Barley is scarce, and ‘24. per quarter dearer. Beans and Peas are each advanced 2s per quarter. The demand for Oats cratinues good, and this article, in consequence of the limited quantity at Market, is full 2s. per quarter higher than this day se'nuight. The sale of Flour con tinues good, but the millers have not advanced the top price to-day. PRICES ON BOARD OF SHIP. Wheat, Red (old) -s s. Beans, Small (new) 36s 385 .--..

Our supply of Wheat from the growers was only moderate at this day's market, but the coasting arrivals continue large; however, the factors all held their samples at very high rates, which our millers would not accede to, and consequently few or no sales were effected ; but the farmer's samples were cleared off at an advance of 3s. per quarter, on last Saturday's prices. Barley being exceedingly scarce, fresh thrashed parcels commanded very high terms. Oats were in fair supply, from the country as well as coastwise, and prices remained without alteration. Malt met a fair sale at our quotations. Rye was Is. per quarter dearer. In the value of other Grain we can note little change. Flour is in good supply, and previous to this day's market brought 2s. per sack more money, but 60s. per sack is now demanded for the best Norfolk and Suffolk Households. New. Old.

MURDER.—There is every reason to believe that a young man, named David Stewart, for some time a writer's clerk, has been cruelly murdered.

Whether the unfortunate sufferer had been travelling across the Grampians, southward or northwards, is not known, nor can it be ascertained who he was, or to what place he be. longed. No watch, nor money, nor even a scrap of paper was found about him ; but from some trifling articles—such as a pair of scissars, a thimble, and a pair of spats, half made, contained in a small bund'e lying beside him—it is conjectured that he h:id been a tailor. The body was consumed almost to a skeleton.—Edinburgh Courant. CuURT CiItiCULA.R The Queen will hold a Court this afternoon at the New Palace.
